Default RE: Made bad shot other day, feedback please

How high was the hit? You could have possibly hit high ABOVE the spine. This will give some blood, and definatley fat on the arrow.. If you did, he's alive, because you didnt cut any major ateries..If you did, you would have had a red brick road to walk.

He's prolly alive..

If you hit him below the spine, through the liver or guts.. he's dead....

I shot a buck last year, through the liver, blood all over my arrow, great blood trail for 70 yrds. Then just quit.. I found him 2 days later. almost 1/2 mile by a creek..

Good luck..
